Time restriction on modifying posts.

[Todge]

As that plug-in has not been changed for a month, I'd say it's a problem with either your download, or ProBoards.

Try downloading and installing it again. If that fails, wait a while and try installing it again.

Love it Todge, thanks very much

It works now, Thank you.

I do have a question though.

I have a member on my forum that needs to have editing powers on just one board. He is not technically a moderator and he has no access to the admin panel. All he wants to do is basically maintain a knowledge database and he needs the power to edit his own posts.

After installing the plug in, he can edit all other members' post on that board except his own. Strange!

Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance Todge

Can you link me to the board and tell me which member you're talking about please.

The member is GLADIATOR.

I also created testmember and assigned to the same exact group.

It is strange because there are Edit buttons for posts made by others but not your own. All gladiator wants to do is edit his own posts.

Thanks Todge !

That link won't open, and I'd like a link to the actual board this member is moderating on if I can.

Thanks.

How about this?

wristwatchforums.proboards.com/board/16/art-time

I just changed the URL this morning... you might also want to try...

watchtalkforums.proboards.com/board/16/art-time

Edit: The first URL seems to work fine.

OR... can I just disable the plug in on that one board only?

[SLRdude]

I feel like a Moron now.... I THINK I got it.
did not realize there was a way to edit permissions in the plug in.
I set certain groups to not be affected by it so let's see if this fixes it.

Chip Edit:

That fixed it. What a dufus I am! Thank you Todge !

[Todge]

No worries... Easily done.

Works perfectly - thanks Todge 


Just out of interest - is there a maximum time limit before editing is disabled?

[Todge]

Nope, you can delay the editing disablement for as long as you wish.

That's good as I want to place a delay of 12 hours (720 minutes) to give people sufficient time to make edits

Hi I have installed this plugin but my members can still edit their profiles. I have set the timer to 5 mins, 10 minutes, but it doesn't make any difference they can still edit.
